Good for you

In Ki Tetze, we are given many mitzvot to do -- 613, actually. What's a mitzvah? A commandment to do a good deed, or to follow directions to perform a certain ritual. As a Jew, it is
important to do both. We become role models for the world in our acts of charity, and we remember who we are and where we came from through our ritual.

Munich Memorial

As the 2004 Olympics draw to a close, it is our
hope that the whole world will remember
the 11 Israeli athletes who died during the
1972 Olympics in Munich, Germany.
They were kidnapped and killed
by a Palestinian group called
Black September.
